I'm trying to manage a major fort battle as the defender, and I have the Ankh - want to figure out what's going to happen.

First of all, will it even work if I don't have enchantment 7 researched for Life after Death? I understand some item spells require you to have researched the actual spell for them to work.

Say one of my mages dies during the battle, and is brought back as a soulless mage - will he continue executing his script? Or is it like a new unit arriving on the battlefield?
